Minneapolis (March 28, 2013) –Training magazine named the winners of its 2013 Emerging Training Leaders awards, recognizing 25 training professionals who have been in the industry for two to 10 years and have demonstrated exceptional leadership skills, business savvy, and training instincts. These executives will be profiled in the May/June 2013 issue of Training magazine and online at www.trainingmag.com, and they will be honored at an awards ceremony in February 2014 at the Training 2014 Conference & Expo, San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA.

The Emerging Training Leaders awards program replaced the five-year-old Top Young Trainerawards program. All Emerging Training Leader candidates had to be nominated by co-workers or industry peers.

Training Editorial Advisory Board members and the editor-in-chief judged the nearly 80 nominations and chose the 25 winners based on the following factors:

Must be in the training industry for a minimum of two years but no more than 10 years

Took on at least one new responsibility in the last year

Successfully led a large-scale training/learning and development initiative within the last year that required management/leadership of a group of people and resulted in the achievement of a corporate strategic goal (with results provided for Kirkpatrick Levels 1-4)

Demonstrates specific leadership qualities

Has the potential to lead the Training or Learning & Development function at an organization in the next one to 10 years

“We received a strong crop of nominees for this first-time awards program,” says Lorri Freifeld, editor-in-chief, Training magazine. “It was a challenge to choose only 25 winners. We appreciate all the time and effort the nominators put into their nominations and salute the 2013 Emerging Training Leaders for their stellar results and impressive leadership skills, including communication, collaboration, coaching, empowerment, innovation, and strategic thinking.”
